The movie was widely praised, earning an 81% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. According to The Times, it depicts a relatable and unsettling situation: being lost on dark, remote country roads with a broken GPS, desperately searching for a rundown hotel.

Movie Mezzanine praised In Fear, noting that while the ending falls into some typical horror tropes, the film’s unsettling ambiguity and sense of creeping madness create a genuinely frightening experience that feels realistically plausible.

In a landscape of uninspired horror films relying on cheap thrills and predictable plots, director Jeremy Lovering stands out with this cleverly minimalist and suspenseful thriller, according to The Observer.

Critics praised the film as a tightly-paced and effective thriller. The Hollywood Reporter highlighted how well it used its limited setting – just three actors, a car, and winding country roads – to build suspense. Time Out noted that the film is gripping and intense, though the increasing tension occasionally feels overwhelming.

Hey, so I just heard some cool news! Apparently, Leech, you know, that actor, is going to be in this new thriller called Pedro Pan. It’s based on the real story of this massive operation that rescued kids after the Cuban Revolution – sounds intense!

Néstor Carbonell, Danny Pino, Paz Vega, and Andy García will join the cast of the film, which will be directed by Richie Adams.

Bart Gavigan, a co-writer on the project, expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to share this historical story on screen, praising the talented and genuine cast who will bring nuance and believability to their characters.

In Fear is streaming now on Channel 4.
